Not many pieces have as much longevity as Boucheron’s Question Mark necklace. First designed by the brand in 1879. Known predominantly for its asymmetry and curved lines, the piece marked a significant mark of innovation in jewellery making – the absence of the clasp. Fast forward to now and the Maison will be celebrating its remarkable design with six new iterations, each celebrating its rich heritage and indomitable craftsmanship.
Inspired by an archival image of a custom piece for American businessman Cornelius Vanderbilt dating back to 1884, the refreshed design features a tailor-made system which allows the necklace to be reversible. Easy to operate and available in three distinct colourways – rubellite, tanzanite and green tourmaline – the necklace dons custom-cut rock crystals and pavé diamonds. A variety of motifs are used throughout the offering, ranging from an ivy – inspired by the vibes at Palais Royal where founder Frederic Boucheron’s first boutique was located – to a peacock feature, olive leaf and laurel.
A stunning display of the house’s aptitude for timeless design and exquisite artistry, you can discover more about the collection from Boucheron’s online platform, here.
